“The Urban Forest Advisory Committee (UFAC) will serve in an advisory capacity on matters of environmental stewardship, specifically concerning the care and planting of trees and the urban forest by advocating sound arboricultural and urban forest management practices.
The Committee will provide proactive leadership for development of public policy and serve to educate citizens of Dallas regarding the numerous environmental, recreational, social and aesthetic benefits of a thriving urban forest.
The committee will be authorized to study, plan, advise, report and make recommendations on plans, programs or city codes which the Council or Park and Recreation Board determines necessary or advisable for the care, conservation, planting, pruning, removal or disposition of trees citywide.”

What Can You Do?
Individual citizens can grow the urban forest in Dallas into a
healthy, productive resource capable of providing benefits for
future generations and improving our quality of life. There are
few acts that can make a bigger difference than planting and
caring for trees.
Trees contribute to cleaner air, cleaner
water, cooler temperatures and many more benefits. Every person
can make a difference. |

Signature Event:
Skillman Street Tree Planting
Saturday, January 10, 2009
Our “Signature” tree planting project, the Skillman Tree
Planting is now scheduled for Saturday January the 10th. It
was originally scheduled this past November but postponed due to delays in delivering the requested
trees. The weather was much too warm for the supplier
to safely ball and burlap the trees. Go to our
Volunteer page for more information
about helping with the planting. |
Dallas' Icon of Environmentalism PassesHe was a brilliant,
tough, visionary leader and a source of inspiration to many of
us throughout our lives. It is a sad day for naturalists as we
weep with the elements of nature for which he dedicated his life.
